Christian Horizons and the Ontario Human Rights Commission are pleased to announce a partnership initiative to enhance diversity within the CH workforce, strengthening CH's mission to serve people living with developmental disabilities.

The Commission and Christian Horizons recognize the importance of Christian Horizons' foundation as a faith-based organization.
